Hi all. I’m sorry if this has been asked before. I did a quick search and didn’t turn up much. I see a lot about doing full briskets, but not a whole lot on doing just the flat.
Ended up getting a 5lb prime flat from Costco. They had no whole briskets, so I’m stuck with that flat for now. Been researching how to do one and watching videos. Planning a simple rub of salt and pepper with a light dusting of bbq rub on top. Planning to smoke around 200-225F and will be wrapping with butcher paper once temp, fat render and bark appear right. Also planning to add beef tallow to try and keep it moist.
My only question is, how long should I expect to cook? When am I likely to be ready to wrap?
Planning to start this tonight and then want to be able to have it rest in a cooler for 6-8+ hours for dinner time tomorrow evening. Thanks all for any advice
